Naturally, people began debating whether the girl was mid-jump or
actually underwater. Commenters provided explanations as to why
the girl couldn't possibly be fully submerged.

Their main argument: the little girl's pony tail is still
visibly dry and not floating around, as it would be if she were
actually underwater.

"Her hair is dry," one Imgur commenter explained. "She is
just jumping in a shallow pool and little droplets have flown
around her looking like air bubbles."

Given the square shape of the photo, several people also
commented that the photo was taken from Instagram and edited
using one of the app's color distorting photo filters.

"I'm willing to bet it's an Instagram pic,"
one Redditor explained. "Basically being underwater takes
away harsh shadows and lessens saturation and contrast. That's
exactly what most Instagram filters do. The fake darkening in the
corners is a giveaway too."

One Redditor even edited the photo to make it more obvious the
girl is not underwater.

"It really seems she's underwater because the photo is
washed out, so it looks like we're looking at the girl through
the surface of a pool,"
one Redditor explained. "If you play with the color and
contrast a little, she does look more like she's on dry
land.
